**Methodology:** [**How TIME and Statista Determined the Best Employers**](https://time.com/7311137/worlds-best-employers-methodology/)

TIME and Statista launched the inaugural list of the Best Employers of 2025, based on independent employee surveys conducted in countries around the world, beginning with Brazil, India, and Australia. In Brazil, over 500,000 employer evaluations were gathered, and the 500 companies where employees were most willing to recommend their employer were ranked on the list. The top three industries on the list are retail, wholesale, and distribution; followed by chemicals, raw materials, mining; then IT, internet, software, and services. 

This year, Brazil’s top employer is Microsoft, which has been present in the country for over 30 years and employs around 1,300 professionals in the country, and over the past few years has made substantial efforts to [develop cloud and AI infrastructure locally](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-cloud/blog/2024/10/17/colombia-and-brazil-embrace-the-potential-of-cloud-and-ai-solutions-to-drive-growth-and-tackle-social-challenges/) in response to the digital transformation taking place across industries like finance, retail, healthcare, and energy in the country. The company announced [a 14.7 billion Reais](https://news.microsoft.com/pt-br/microsoft-announces-14-7-billion-reais-investment-over-three-years-in-cloud-and-ai-infrastructure-and-provide-ai-training-at-scale-to-upskill-5-million-people-in-brazil/) investment (\~$2.7 billion USD) in September 2024, along with a commitment to train 5 million people over the next three years with AI skills in collaboration with 26 organizations, including governments, educational institutions, and nonprofits. The [International Labor Organization](https://www.ilo.org/publications/buffer-or-bottleneck-employment-exposure-generative-ai-and-digital-divide) predicts that 26-38% of jobs in Latin America and the Caribbean could be exposed to Generative AI, which could create [uneven productivity gaps](https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/099651304222510162/pdf/IDU-986795d5-3e31-4855-86cd-2bcbe98b6528.pdf) caused by barriers to innovation and technology adoption. According to [AI Asia Pacific Institute](https://aiasiapacific.org/2025/02/17/the-ai-landscape-in-brazil/), Brazil is a leader in AI innovation in Latin America. “We believe the AI economy can be a powerful engine for sustainable development,” Priscyla Laham, General Manager of Microsoft Brazil, tells TIME. She cites a 2020 study by consulting firm FrontierView that found AI adoption could add up to 1.8 percentage points to Brazil’s GDP growth by 2030.


The new investment builds on programs like [Mais Brazil and Conecta+](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/hope-opportunity-microsofts-skilling-initiatives-brazil-kate-behncken-gwihc) that have been active since 2020 to bridge the talent gap in Brazil’s Information and Communication Technology sector. In 2024, Conecta+ evolved into ConectAI to equip people with AI skills. Since launching, ConectAI has trained 5.1 million people and certified 2.5 million in AI-related skills. Surveys conducted by Brazil’s Ministry of Labor and Employment and internal evaluations show that at least 14% of ConectAI participants who were previously unemployed secured new jobs or received promotions after completing the training programs, says Laham.

## Português

A TIME e a Statista lançaram a lista inaugural dos Melhores Empregadores de 2025, com base em pesquisas independentes realizadas com funcionários em países ao redor do mundo, começando pelo Brasil, Índia e Austrália. No Brasil, foram coletadas mais de 500.000 avaliações de empregadores, e as 500 empresas cujos funcionários estavam mais dispostos a recomendar seu empregador foram classificadas na lista. Os três principais setores da lista são varejo, atacado e distribuição; seguidos por produtos químicos, matérias-primas e mineração; e, em seguida, TI, internet, software e serviços.

Este ano, a principal empregadora do Brasil é a Microsoft, que está presente no país há mais de 30 anos e emprega cerca de 1.300 profissionais em território nacional. Nos últimos anos, a empresa tem feito esforços substanciais para desenvolver infraestrutura de nuvem e IA localmente, em resposta à transformação digital que está ocorrendo em setores como finanças, varejo, saúde e energia no país. A empresa anunciou um investimento de 14,7 bilhões de reais (\~US$ 2,7 bilhões) em setembro de 2024, juntamente com o compromisso de treinar 5 milhões de pessoas nos próximos três anos em habilidades de IA, em colaboração com 26 organizações, incluindo governos, instituições educacionais e organizações sem fins lucrativos. A Organização Internacional do Trabalho prevê que 26-38% dos empregos na América Latina e no Caribe podem estar expostos à IA generativa, o que poderia criar disparidades de produtividade causadas por barreiras à inovação e à adoção de tecnologia. De acordo com o AI Asia Pacific Institute, o Brasil é líder em inovação em IA na América Latina. “Acreditamos que a economia da IA pode ser um poderoso motor para o desenvolvimento sustentável”, disse Priscyla Laham, gerente geral da Microsoft Brasil, à revista TIME. Ela cita um estudo de 2020 da consultoria FrontierView que descobriu que a adoção da IA poderia adicionar até 1,8 pontos percentuais ao crescimento do PIB do Brasil até 2030.

O novo investimento se baseia em programas como o Mais Brasil e o Conecta+, que estão em vigor desde 2020 para preencher a lacuna de talentos no setor de Tecnologia da Informação e Comunicação do Brasil. Em 2024, o Conecta+ evoluiu para o ConectAI, com o objetivo de capacitar as pessoas em habilidades de IA. Desde o seu lançamento, o ConectAI treinou 5,1 milhões de pessoas e certificou 2,5 milhões em habilidades relacionadas à IA. Pesquisas realizadas pelo Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego do Brasil e avaliações internas mostram que pelo menos 14% dos participantes do ConectAI que estavam desempregados conseguiram novos empregos ou receberam promoções após concluir os programas de treinamento, diz Laham.
